Best young player award

International Football/Football World Wide - General Discussion

Postby Lionheart » Fri Jul 07, 2006 1:29 am

The following six players have been nominated by the public (from 1 million votes received) for FIFA inaugural Best Young Player Award at the World Cup.

Lionel Messi - Argentina
Christiano Ronaldo - Portugal
Lukas Podolski - Germany
Tranquilo Barnetta - Switzerland
Ces Fabregas - Spain
Luis Valencia - Equador

The winner will be decided by FIFA's technical study group.

Who would you vote for??

On face value I would have voted for Lionel Messi but he didn't play the role in this WC that I thought he might, for reasons best known to Pekerman, the Argentinian manager. Therefore I will opt for Lukas Podolski.

The vote for Ronaldo was also helped by a concerted effort from scotland similar to the one for Luis Valencia.Some scots are just sooo bitter :D bbc link
